Adding color ranges to a bullet graph

You can add color ranges to a bullet graph in order to define, for instance, within which range performance is considered to be good enough. In the example below, color ranges have been added to indicate that if the bar is within the leftmost range, then performance is below what is acceptable, but as long as the bar is within the rightmost range it is OK.

About this task

Note: Bullet graphs must be authored in the installed client.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the bullet graph column, and select Bullet graph settings.
  2. In the Color ranges section, select the Show color ranges check box to enable the Add button, a color selector , and an empty text field.One single color range is displayed in the bullet graph.
  3. Click the Add button to add another color range. A column selector is shown, and below it, another color selector with an empty text field.
  4. In the column selector, define the value that should be the limit between the added color range and the one above it. You can choose a column directly from the column selector or you can right-click it to specify a custom expression.
    Note: The start value of the first color range will automatically be the lowest value of the bullet graph scale, and the end value of the last color range will automatically be the highest value of the scale.
    Tip: If you want you can use a specific value or percentage as the limit between the color ranges.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each color range you want to add.
    Note: A new color range is always added last in the list of existing color ranges in the dialog.
  6. If you want, you can enter descriptive texts for the color ranges in the text fields. The texts can be shown in the tooltip for the bullet graph.
